You definately have something wrong with a leaf. either a weak leaf or a broken leaf. That kills your ride quality because your leaf spring can'tbendmuch further, which results in very little shock absorbtion..

Do the leaf springs look like that on both sides? Cause I would have to agree that something is not right with the rear leaf springs then, either one is bent real bad or one broke. I just looked at my blazer again and it looks like i might have close to the same problem. I was just thinking that shocks would fix it up since they are factory shocks or at most were replaced at 60,000 and I have 135000 miles on them now. Going to replace the shocks and probably doing a lift in the fall when I have some more money. Does any one know of a lift kit that includes new rear leaf springs? (I'll post this as a new topic too)

Yeh ,I will checkout auto wreckers online in Canada. Should be able to find some leaf springs cheap.

New BF goodrich all around helps a bit. ZM6 listed in RPO. Does that mean I have it? I guess ZM6 is off road package.

Thanks
